YOu need to claim your child back to heck with her feelings. You should have been doing all the things MIL is doing from the start unless you were physically unable to. She can still bond with the child doing grandmother things not mother things.

There would never be a day, anyone would be more of a parent than me to my own child. Take iniative, if your daughter needs a bath give her one. If it is breakfast time, make breakfast. She is your kid, you do the work. Also, ya'all need to move out. It is nice your in-laws have let you stay there, but it has been a year and a half. You should of saved enough, or found good enough jobs to support yourselves by now. Good luck!
